Brian and I talked yesterday and decided that if the forecast didn’t get better, we would reschedule the race to Sunday. That was for the benefit of people who might come from out of town, like Noah. The chance of rain for tonight has increased to 60%. The spot gets very little wind, due to the tree...

Because of the 50% chance of precipitation tonight, we are moving the race back by one day. It will now be Sunday, March 13. Practice at 1pm, race at 2. If anyone made plans to attend but now can't at all due to Sunday commitments, I offer this: If the weather forcasters are wrong and it happens to ...

Would a 36" sector 9 be good with randals and flashbacks? Or would I want like an almost downhill setup like my DH race with downhill trucks and gumballs? The 36” board would be more appropriate, and a truckbase of at least 22” would be preferable, but the more you can change the components to slal...

Danny, It’s the backhill that curves to the right. It will be a GS course that probably requires a big GS board (you can borrow mine if you need it). Bring your fullface helmet. If you get facial road-rash, your stage director will insist that you cover it with makeup and that probably won't feel ve...

Outlaw is the only way to race at Fntnhead without at least buying insurance. Even with insurance, I doubt they would ever let us ride there, since the park is actually closed.
